The Egyptian NNC has purchased a new dry bulk carrier

It was revealed that the European owner, Atlantska Plovidba, had offloaded a kamsarmax newbuilding with the aim for delivery in the first quarter of 2024. The dry bulk vessel, named Aplovrijenac, was one of four bulkers Atlantska Plovidba has on order in China. The Zagreb-listed company sold the Jiangsu Hantong Ship Heavy Industry-built kamsarmax for US$37 million.

The taker of the ship, Cairo-based NNC, owns a fleet of 13 bulkers under the Egyptian flag and one containership. This is its first purchase in years.
